Mesoscale Discussion 0624
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0629 PM CDT Sun May 17 2020
Areas affected...southeast Illinoise southwest through south central
Indiana and northwest Kentucky
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 192...
Valid 172329Z - 180100Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 192
continues.
SUMMARY...Threat for isolated damaging wind and a tornado or two
will persist through 02Z with primary threat shifting into southern
Indiana and northwest Kentucky. The line of storms will begin to
move east of WW 192 betwen 01Z and 0130Z. An additional downstream
WW remains uncertain at this time, but WFO IND can locally extend
farther east through south central IND if needed.
DISCUSSION...Line of storms with embedded bowing segments and comma
head structures near the southern IL/IN border is moving east
northeast at around 30 kt. This activity is developing along a warm
conveyor belt associated with a 40 kt low-level jet that will
continue to shift eastward through IN this evening. The VWP from IND
shows favorable wind profiles for organized storms with 40 kt 0-6 km
shear and 300 m2/s2 0-1 km storm relative helicity. Instability is
weak with around 500-700 J/kg MLCAPE. This environment will remain
favorable for organized storms capable of producing isolated
damaging wind and a tornado or two next couple hours. However, the
downstream thermodynamic environment is marginal and raises
uncertainty regarding the eastward extent of the severe threat. Any
additional WW issuance will ultimately depend on convective trends.
